What is a cataract?

A cataract in most cases is an age related clouding or opacification of the natural lens in the eye. In some cases, cataracts can be congenital, induced by facial trauma, or induced from complications related to other diseases such as diabetes. Symptoms of cataracts may be:

Blurred vision not improved by glasses

Dulled vision

Light sensitivity or increased glare from lights

If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, and the symptoms of cataracts are limiting your ability to carry out daily functions, you may benefit from cataract surgery. Surgery is the only option to remove a cataract.

During cataract removal, Dr. Reiter (cataract doctor) will then implant a new lens into your eye to give you the ability to improve your vision. At Visione 360, Dr. Dennis Reiter and staff use the latest technology to offer patients options for advanced cataract surgery. Dr. Reiter has performed thousands of cataract operations for El Paso residents since 1992.

What does this mean?

Traditional cataract surgery is aimed at improving distance vision, without consideration of other refractive errors such as astigmatism, requiring the use of glasses 100% of the time for best potential vision. At Visione 360, Dr. Dennis Reiter and staff use advanced technology to determine if patients will qualify for 1 of 2 options.

Distance and Astigmatism Correction – Limiting the Use of Glasses

For the right candidate, Dr. Reiter can offer patients the chance of living life without the use of glasses for most activities. With many considerations, some patients will benefit from a special lens, or the use of Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery to correct corneal astigmatism, resulting in the opportunity to NOT NEED glasses for most activities except reading, fine detailed work, and or computer use.

Other Considerations

While the attempt to correct vision problems is the goal, other considerations must be made when deciding which option is best. A comprehensive Ophthalmic/Cataract evaluation by Dr. Reiter must be performed prior to any surgical recommendations.

In most instances, insurance companies will provide coverage for basic cataract surgery. It is important that you as a patient understand your insurance coverage, as most premium packages will not be covered.

Cataract surgery is very common and performed by most comprehensive ophthalmologists’. The risks of cataract surgery include but not limited to decreased vision, loss of vision, retinal detachment, elevated eye pressure, and droopy eyelids. There is no guarantee that any form of cataract surgery will improve your vision, and it is important to know that complications of surgery may arise days, months, weeks, or even years later. It is important after cataract surgery, to continue care with your doctor and follow all physician recommendations.
